I keep the uglies, learned the technical term is "uncurrent," separate. So far I only have a few.

I had a tin of absolutely disgusting ones that I sold at a local auction since I couldn't really even spend them.

I still have 12 - 1 gallon food grade mayo/ranch dressing jugs from the grocery stores. Each has 34 lbs of Ryedale sorted cu Lincolns. The uglies are kept in separate 1 gallon jugs if they have even the slightest amount of verdigris or creeping crud. I figure worst case I can "reaquaint' the uglies with the wild if needed, but I'm in no hurry to set them free, & don't need the bucks. Plus if the Gooberment ever ends the penny, uglies will be just as good as clean pennies. And this way, they don't "infect" the others! Not sure it's the right way, but it's MY way!
Keep on Stacking!

I got tired of sending copper back, I soak them in 50/50 vinegar water, cleans them up nice and they go into the collection without worrying about them infecting my other coppers.

All of my HDOU cents leave my possession as quickly as they arrive. In fact, I go out of my way to spend them. BTW, my HDOU designation stands for Hammered, Damaged or Otherwise Ugly.

RE: Hammered, Damaged or Otherwise Ugly...

Sounds like the way some people appear when they leave the bar late on a Saturday night! :lol:
